Belkin (1962) and Abercrombie (1977) surmised that Christophersiomyia (as a subgenus of Aedes) has closest affinities with Stegomyia and Bothaella, respectively, but this is not supported by the phylogenetic study of Reinert et al. (2009) in which Christophersiomyia was placed in a clade comprising a pectinate series of other genera: Polyleptiomyia + (Bifidistylus + (Albuginosus + (Tewarius + (Christophersiomyia) + Huaedes + Leptosomatomyia))))). Further research is needed to confirm these relationships.

Bionomics and disease relations:

Species of Christophersiomyia are rarely collected and little is known of the bionomics. The immature stages have been found in tree holes, stump holes, water butts, woodpecker holes, rock pools of streams, coconut shells and spathes. The females of several species have been collected feeding on humans.

Species of Christophersiomyia are of no medical or economic importance to humans.

Distribution:

Christophersiomyia species occur in the Oriental Region, Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands.
